Age Spots

Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, are flat, brown or black spots that appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin due to prolonged UV exposure and aging. Prevention includes sun protection, while treatment options include topical creams, chemical peels, laser therapy, and cryotherapy for cosmetic improvement.

How it works

Age spots, also known as liver spots or solar lentigines, develop due to the overproduction of melanin in response to sun exposure over time. UV radiation triggers melanocytes in the skin to produce excess pigment, leading to the formation of brown or black spots. Prevention involves sun protection, while treatments aim to lighten or remove age spots using topical bleaching agents, chemical peels, laser therapy, or cryotherapy.
